A unique home on Richmond Hill, where carefully curated sightlines, double-height volumes and a striking floating staircase create an extraordinary sense of light and space
Occupying one of Richmond's most coveted positions, this exceptional house commands the world-famous protected view across Terrace Gardens and the River Thames beyond, a landscape immortalised by J.M.W. Turner and safeguarded by an Act of Parliament.
Behind an elegant period façade lies a remarkable contemporary interior extending to approximately 2,773 square feet (257.6 sq m), where historic character and modern architecture have been combined to create a home of rare distinction.
The principal reception room is undoubtedly one of the finest spaces on Richmond Hill. Beautiful period detailing, intricate plasterwork and a striking fireplace are complemented by a dramatic oriel bay window that perfectly frames the celebrated Turner View. Elevated above the street and flooded with natural light, the room offers an ever-changing panorama across the Thames Valley.
A defining feature of the house is the interplay between space, light and perspective. A sculptural floating staircase with glass balustrades rises through a central atrium, creating long sightlines that connect the various levels and draw natural light deep into the heart of the property. Double-height volumes and carefully considered architectural interventions generate a sense of openness rarely found in period houses.
At garden level, a stunning kitchen and dining space forms the social centre of the home. Contemporary cabinetry, expansive stainless steel worktops and a substantial island are complemented by double-height ceilings and extensive glazing. Full-width doors open directly onto a beautifully landscaped garden, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living.
The private walled garden has been thoughtfully designed as an intimate entertaining space, with architectural planting, mature palms and multiple seating areas providing a tranquil retreat from the bustle of central Richmond.
The accommodation extends across three floors and includes two bedrooms, including a generous principal suite enjoying exceptional proportions and natural light. A further ground-floor bedroom provides flexible guest accommodation, while a detached studio and garage offer valuable additional space for home working, creative pursuits, fitness or ancillary accommodation.
